Seahawks Humiliate 49ers in Playoff Rout and Storm Into NFC Championship
The tone of this rivalry was set from the very first heartbeat of the game and from that moment on, Seattle never looked back. What was expected to be a fierce divisional showdown turned into a stunning statement of dominance, as the Seahawks dismantled the San Francisco 49ers 41 to 6 and punched their ticket to the NFC Championship Game.
This was not just a win. This was a message sent to the entire league.

On the opening kickoff, Seattle took the ball nearly the length of the field for an instant touchdown, igniting the crowd and signaling that the Seahawks had arrived with force. From there, the game quickly slipped out of San Francisco’s control. Seattle’s defense swarmed, hit and disrupted everything the 49ers tried to establish. Drives stalled. Fourth downs failed. Turnovers piled up. And frustration showed on every sideline shot.
Offensively, Seattle did not need to be flashy. They were efficient, physical and relentless. The run game controlled the night, chewing up yards and draining hope. Kenneth Walker III powered through the heart of the San Francisco defense again and again, finishing with three rushing touchdowns and setting the tone for a team that clearly wanted to impose its will. Quarterback Sam Darnold, playing through an injury concern, stayed composed and let the system work around him. By the fourth quarter, his job was done and the outcome was beyond doubt.
For San Francisco, everything unraveled. Injuries mounted. Execution disappeared. Brock Purdy was under constant pressure and eventually pulled as the deficit became impossible to overcome. The 49ers crossed midfield repeatedly but walked away empty far too often, undone by mistakes and missed chances. This was one of the most lopsided playoff losses of the Kyle Shanahan era and it raises serious questions about depth, durability and direction heading into the offseason.
What makes this moment even more significant is the bigger picture. Seattle finished the regular season as the top seed in the NFC and this performance validated that position. This team leads with defense, runs with authority and plays with confidence at home. Now, with momentum fully on their side, the Seahawks will host the NFC Championship Game for the first time in over a decade.
The road to the Super Bowl now runs through Seattle and after what we just witnessed, no one can afford to take them lightly. Stay with us as the playoff picture continues to unfold and keep watching for full coverage, analysis and every critical development ahead.
